Tapping my fingers... waiting

I do so love your perception of reality, Bogart.

May I please wear your rose coloured glasses for a wee moment???

Tapping my fingers... waiting

Perhaps I should bow your wisdom, Sir... and allow you to lead me in life... to greener pastures and promises of enlightenment.

RE: believe

"Hearsay" as a legal term is from a third party. So it's not hearsay on this site.

Offline, you are not always correct with first impressions either, so I guess you have to observe and take into account how a person interacts within this limited means.

Hello Kennnn,

I have never seen you in the blogosphere... Nice to see you.

Isn't that true...that our perceptions alter over time. When I look back and know that I have had friends for 30 years, left school 26 years ago... It all just flies past.

So now you are the 'old guy' with the experience? I actually believe I know that feeling these days.

Tapping my fingers... waiting

Yes, Bogart... I was calling you names!

RE: An African Delicacy!

Next you will telling me ... " It's good for you"

Tapping my fingers... waiting

Reality is quite a curse. I would not take the pill if I were you... nor the other blue one. (You know, the one that is gaining more popularity with men worldwide)

Tapping my fingers... waiting

Bogart...don't make me send you to your room, young man!

RE: An African Delicacy!

That should be 'eggs' ... not eats. My goodness, I am slowing down... I was up too early today and now I am paying for it with fatigue dyslexia. ( Oh I know... excuses.. excuses)

RE: An African Delicacy!

Ugh... eats instead of rice? Catfoot... the one thing I can be assured of around you is that dieting will never be an issue, you are very good at putting me off food.

RE: I LOVE MUSIC

I am sooooooooo glad you approve of my choices in life, Mike.

Tapping my fingers... waiting

If I ever see my mother in my mirrors, Mike... I will consider weighing up if breaking them is worth the seven years of bad luck.

Bogart... I am obviously not adverse to being judged for my fingers or nails. If you don't approve of the colour I chose, I can take that into consideration when I go to the beauticians.

Nice to see you.

RE: An African Delicacy!

That's funny, Catfoot. It's amazing how easy it is to distract us from our usual biases.

RE: An African Delicacy!

When I was young, I ate a pizza at a pizza restaurant with lots of mushroom and really loved it. My Aunt and Uncle specifically asked the owners to dim the lights and I ate a lot of it. (I didn't like mushrooms... to this day, I will eat a small amount on pizza)

However, lamb... Not a chance. The smell makes me cringe... Even if your 'dish' was not unusual... I would still cringe.

RE: An African Delicacy!

... I feel ill

RE: my guns bigger than your gun!!! SO THERE!!

Gosh , they have been at it for years... what would they do if they were not throwing sand at one another?

Tapping my fingers... waiting

Market... That is high flattery. Thank you. I believe blogging is to an individuals taste. I am quite formal in my way of typing and it's not to everyones taste. Also, I only typed this a few hours ago, and I am an 'unknown' in the blogosphere; so it really is not that surprising.

I guess because I have constantly moved in life and changed locations that I do not see people for years and sometimes the change can be quite startling for me. Although, oddly enough in my head... people stay as they are when I first meet them. I do see their exterior facade, but what I remember is who that person essentially is. I have a lot to be thankful for with my choice of friends, they truly are exceptional.

Happy 40th by the way. Obviously I missed it.

Tapping my fingers... waiting

Boban... Surely you jest! You are older than 30... say it isn't so?!?

Tapping my fingers... waiting

Welela... And that is exactly how it should be! Content with where you are in life! I accept I am middle age, but I must say as I looked across at my friend the other day... I realised he had subtlely changed and I was surprised. What I miss the most was, he used to ALWAYS be smiling.

It's always so obvious that you are happy and I love that.

Tapping my fingers... waiting

KNenagh...I loved turning 30, I think if I had to return to an age, that would be it. It was a time where everything fell into place for me in life. Confidence for one.

Yes, it's hard to believe you are in your late thirties. You look exceptional.

I think we improve as we get older, we are more relaxed with an incredible range of topics to discuss with someone new... but alas, there are still people out there that want to behave like they are 20... and I don't just mean hanging from chandeliers in the bedroom.

RE: I LOVE MUSIC

...oh this one makes me laugh too.Hello Mike...

RE: I LOVE MUSIC

RE: Technical Question ...

Omda...other blogging sites have footprints, but like someone already said, often I go to 'last commented' ...mostly to remember where I have been so I can return to see if there has been a reply on a blog. It seems inevitable that I will just miss a reply one day.

You get lost in the moment when you are in the helicopter. Although I did the CN Tower in Toronto days earlier and that is 351 metres high. For THAT I was shaking!!! A friend from the UK helped me out to the edge because I was a mess.

I have no idea about Cuddling. Does he sing?

The Dash

Ummka..Thank you. Whilst I have a hobby like interest in photography, I am afraid that's always all it will be. My business acumen has always run too high for me to ignore that.

The Dash

Thank you, Ed. Yes, the story that occurred between the start and finish. Today there was a pretty amazing story to tell, and celebrating that today... well this man made his life worthwhile.

It really does make you wonder if when the time comes whether each of us will be ready to say that we were happy with our innings.

RE: Permanent, For The Time Being

My mother often told me that we are simply caretakers of children, they are here to make their own choices in life. I am finding this to be true.

RE: Permanent, For The Time Being

Do we ever really own anything in life? Not really... it's an illusion. We should respect the earth and tread carefully...

The Dash

Thank you, Timotie... Obviously I have several shots taken from the helicopter. It was an incredible experience. I think everyone should do it
